At some point enforcement becomes impossible without killing access to a free anonymous internet entirely.
I am not saying that is okay, but I am saying it is impossible to stop without shutting down the internet.
If anything deepfake tech reduces the demand to abuse real humans to obtain some types of pictures, which might reduce harm, even if in gross way.
Also you can find copyright movies too just as easily no matter how many billions have been spent trying to stop it.
AI is taking off like a rocket. Soon it’s going to be as easy as asking chatGPT to generate the photos/videos/whatever you want - and while chatGPT may be censored, there’s almost certainly going to be open source models that are not censored
What can you actually do to truly stop it? Ban deep fake software? How's that ban going to work out? To what degree is libel and slander present in current schools and how often is it successfully addressed?
terminally uncreative take. I'm actually curious what you mean by free society tho because clearly we are not totally without rules and taboos, what are we free to do and where do we draw the line?
imo deepfakes are not that different from revenge porn, it is an image of you being shared without your consent. doesn't matter that it's 90% synthesized, your image was used in a way designed to hurt you or at least your reputation. we have laws about libel and slander, where's the incompatibility?
